Life isn’t always a battle…
Marcy has had a secret crush on Samuel since childhood. Samuel, older and her brother's closest friend, was always off-limits. But, a lucky chance meeting at a birthday bash finally turns the tables! Now, age is just a number and no longer a hurdle in their blossoming relationship.
In the aftermath of the tragic events on September 11, 2001, Samuel made the courageous decision to enlist in the military alongside his closest companion, Matthew. A sudden and unexpected incident resulted in Samuel being left alone, haunted by the last words Matthew spoke, “take care of Marcy”.
Overwhelmed by PTSD and survivor's guilt, Samuel makes a conscious effort to maintain physical distance from Marcy. Despite his deepening feelings for her, his role remains that of a silent protector, following her to ensure her safety. His interpretation of Matthew's plea to "take care" of Marcy is left open-ended, urging Sam to question - is this what Matthew had in mind?
